She paraded through
the orange groves and smelled
like heaven on earth.

laughter fills the pool
sunshine strikes the snow shovel
buried in tall grass
sunshine strikes the snow shovel
buried in tall grass
left leaves cry and cling
to barren swaying branches
wind whispers be free
to barren swaying branches
wind whispers be free
Fall softly spring rain
my grandmother's lips are dry
awaiting the bloom
my grandmother's lips are dry
awaiting the bloom
blackbirds on asphalt
scar the frost for frozen crumbs?
wind song stirring trees
scar the frost for frozen crumbs?
wind song stirring trees
fine white china smashed
scattered along the shore line
sea shell collection
scattered along the shore line
sea shell collection
mercurial bird
dives into honeysuckle...
perfume beads scatter

Darkly in the western sky.
Now, time to be brave.

Now, time to be brave.
pink wild rose blossoms
lone traveler along road
bee bathes in pollen

Moon in the window
Whispers turn to city fog
Hear the world, kiss me
Whispers turn to city fog
Hear the world, kiss me
Tobacco ash falls
Addicts blow up at the sky
Smoke break in rehab

even the air, astonished,

draws its frozen breath
Small words echo here
In emptiness they stand tall
Red woods among pines.

Red woods among pines.
Full dandelion
Swollen with good intentions
Blown into the wind
Swollen with good intentions
Blown into the wind
Cicadas singing
Trees sweating sweet aroma
Bathing in the sun

Bathing in the sun
sunlight cuts below
storm clouds bowling the meadow
in sparkling thistle

in sparkling thistle
Turquoise fog rises
Searchlights moving rapidly
Midnight sky coming

Swimming through smog filled wind gusts
Beauty in poison

a sea of flowers and rain
flows from her wonder

The light is rusty gold now
Raining from the trees

of soft freshly fallen snow
lie tomorrow's seeds.
of soft freshly fallen snow
lie tomorrow's seeds.
Looking south, ducks call.
Sighing, trees release summer:
Fluttering leaf falls.
Sighing, trees release summer:
Fluttering leaf falls.

Falcons above the desert,
A great song in all.
Falcons above the desert,
A great song in all.

chin on paws on empty boots
come on boy. . .good boy

Awakens me before dawn
Bobcat at our pond
Awakens me before dawn
Bobcat at our pond
